Fitness Assessment

ensuring your long-term health is in a good position

At FROGS we understand overall physical fitness is important to your long term health. Often fitness is thought of in terms of athletes or others that are avidly involved in sports and recreation, but proper fitness is important for everyone. When a human is physically fit, they are most resistant to illness, able to recover from injury faster, and capable of keeping up with the daily requirements of life. With the obesity epidemic that has swept over the country in recent years, a new found focus on fitness has started to come into focus. If more individuals are physically fit, the requirements for health care and prescription drugs is sure to be reduced.

Fitness can be described simply as the ability to perform any kind of physical activity. For a professional athlete, that physical activity might be measured by how fast they can run or how high they can jump. For the average person, fitness might be the ability to walk up several flights of stairs without becoming winded or lifting heavy bags in and out of the car. Regardless of what your life requires of your fitness level, keeping your body in condition to handle those rigors will significantly add to your quality of life.

Getting the most out of life is a goal that most people have, and physical fitness is a big step in that direction.

For those that enjoy being active in sports, fitness is a necessity to perform at a high level and stay healthy throughout a season.

I came in unable to walk due to a knee injury. Andy put me on crutches and work me thru therapy, at my pace. Never pushing me beyond what I could handle and often kept me from doing too much. Explaining everything I had questions on and working with my work schedule. When my insurance didn't approve more therapy he worked with me and kept my strength training on-going. Both he and his staff truly care about the well-being of their patients. I highly recommend FROGS Physical Therapy.

Andy, Thanks for doing it again! Several years ago you rehabbed my left shoulder, then a couple of years later you rehabbed my right shoulder (both now doing very well!) and lately you got me walking again. I had fallen in the rock garden and a few weeks later had some stiffness when I got up one morning. The next morning I could barely walk, but did make it to your clinic. Long story short, within three days you had me walking and I even made it through Sky Harbor to catch a plane. Thanks!

Make no mistake about it, Andy Clary is committed to excellence. As a forty year runner, I have required physical therapy from time-to-time over the years. Several months ago, I sought treatment for sudden and severe lower back disc pain. Discouraged, I was referred to Andy at Frogs by an orthopedic surgeon, although I was not prepared for what I experienced. Andy’s expertise, knowledge, experience and work ethic is unmatched in the industry. I have been the beneficiary of these qualities and Andy s incredible skill, now that he has me back in the game. Kudos to Andy and the folks at FROGS Physical Therapy.

Andy, thank you for using your expertise to help me. I am excited to be on the road to becoming stronger and in better shape.

I found myself on top of Humboldt Pk at 14,064 ft. I had a picture taken July 1, 2011 (I attached it to my email). Thanks for all of your help. When I came to you, DR C made the statement our first goal is to save the leg and together we did that and much more. Thanks again and I wanted to share positive results.

I've known Andy Clary for almost ten years (before he started FROGS PT), and have full trust in him and in the way he plans and proceeds with each treatment. He is a knowledgeable and experienced therapist and treats each patient with utmost care. He is professional in his field and is a kind gentleman, who takes care of each and every patient with utmost attention and care. I feel myself in good care when Andy works on my injuries, and trust in his professional approach and treatment. I consider Andy one of the best in this field and strongly recommend him to all my family and friends. May God bless him and make him more successful in his services to the patients, who, I believe, have the same feeling and view as I have.

About 2 1/2 years ago I sustained an injury to my low back while on the job. At first I thought it was no big deal, I tried to shake it off and just keep going. But after 3 weeks my pain was getting worse. Over the next two years I saw 2 different physical therapists, tried chiropractic medicine, saw two physicians specializing in physical medicine and rehab and even had dry needle trigger point injections. Everyone I saw was hopeful they could help me, but eventually the outcome was always the same – the pain was still there. At that time I was very discouraged. Then a friend of mine suggested I see Andy at FROGS. I’ll admit I was a little skeptical about seeing another physical therapist – but I’m so glad I went. After the first visit as I stood up to walk out the door I noticed something very different – my back didn’t hurt! After living with constant pain at some degree for 2 years, it was an almost startling sensation. After my visits with Andy were complete I felt stronger and was not having nagging pain 24/7. I really felt like myself again! I’m so glad I came to FROGS and would highly recommend Andy to anyone who suffers from chronic pain.

FROGS Physical Therapy – Thank You!

You MUST meet Andy and his staff if you wish to eliminate your pain and /or recover from chronic issues. For over 10 years, I have traveled extensively and was resigned to believing that my back, neck and shoulder pain would simply be unresolved. Then 18 months ago, I had to give up running due to knee pain. Frustration and depression were inevitable.

I began seeing Andy at FROGS PT 7 weeks ago, and now not only am I pain free, but now I’m running again too! My home program now begins and I will truly miss seeing Andy and his team. They are amazing! I give Andy tremendous gratitude and my highest recommendation! Bravo!
